Blurb:

When Wen Ruo wakes up, she discovers she's been bound to a scumbag-punishment System. Armed with a beautiful, strong, and tragic heroine's role, she transmigrates into various books to help the original heroines punish scumbags.

Transmigrating as a villainous female demon, Wen Ruo finds herself surrounded by the swords of righteous sects, with everyone wishing they could kill her. Transmigrating as a minor internet celebrity, she unexpectedly gets paired up for a fake romance with a powerhouse actor and gets flamed on trending searches. Transmigrating as a princess from a former dynasty, she's forced to marry the current emperor and becomes a laughingstock...

To complete the System's objectives and return to the real world, Wen Ruo, the hardworking wage-earner, relies on the golden finger given to her by the System and breezes through every challenge.

Wen Ruo: Insulting me? Say no more. I'll just add you to the group chat.

But when she is reminded yet again to watch her OOC score and mission progress, she finally can't take it anymore.

Wen Ruo: I'm done. I'm going on strike!

So she packed up the male supporting character and ran off with him in the middle of the night.

Blurb:

[Green-tea black-lotus stepbrother (Xie Tingzhi) × Proud, domineering heiress (Yu Qiaoqing)]

[Reunited after years apart, love seized by guile and force]

Yu Qiaoqing was treasured by her family from childhood, until the year her mother died of illness and her father brought his old flame into the household in a sedan chair. With her came Xie Tingzhi, two years younger than Yu Qiaoqing.

With her mother's remains not yet cold, Yu Qiaoqing was consumed by resentment and made trouble for Xie Tingzhi at every turn.

They spent every day together. The boy was gentle with everyone and beloved by the servants. Though she often made things difficult for him, he always went along with Yu Qiaoqing's wishes.

Everyone thought Xie Tingzhi was living under someone else's roof and swallowing his humiliation. Only he knew that beneath his gentle exterior lay a fervent, burning heart.

-

When her family was destroyed, Yu Qiaoqing became a prisoner. Pursued by assassins, she fell off a cliff, and from then on the world believed she was dead.

When she woke, she had been taken in by a martial sect. She shed her former willfulness and arrogance, determined to avenge her family.

She reunited with Xie Tingzhi at the Dao Trial Tournament.

Yu Qiaoqing took first place among the new generation. The young man sat above her, watching quietly, his eyes surging with frenzied obsession.

On the day Yu Qiaoqing married Chu Xuanyun, the face beneath the veil was Xie Tingzhi's.

The young man's thumb brushed her cheek, his voice full of bewitching coaxing.

"I've spent so long looking for you. Where do you think you're going now?"

-

To survive, Xie Tingzhi always watched Yu Qiaoqing's expression. But he could no longer suppress his feelings. They grew wildly, beyond his control.

He hid his love from everyone and kept it buried in his heart.

Until the day he heard that Yu Qiaoqing had fallen off a cliff. He ran to the foot of it without hesitation.

Snow fell thick and fast, turning everything silver-white. The young man's eyes were bloodshot as he helplessly clawed at the cold snow. Tears streamed down his face, and he could only repeat the words "Elder Sister."

Reading Guide:

1. The heroine and the second male lead have no romantic history. There are reasons they get married.

2. They are not related by blood [emphasis]. They have already ended their relationship by the time they get together, and in the eyes of outsiders, they have no ties to each other.

3. My own setting, with heaps of original worldbuilding.

4. Give that lucky little hand of yours a workout and hit the favorite button, okay? =v=.~ (nibbles fingers)
